A Thousand Years Chords & Tabs
A Thousand Years - Boyce Avenue
Tabbed By: Kingsley
Hey guys this as accurate as I can get the tabs.
I tabbed this song before Boyce Avenue released the video.
So basically this is all ear without knowing what he is actually doing.
I have shown an image of these tabs to Alejandro and he says its
VERY close to their tabs. So work with it :]
